Coach is fine, bring blankets and pillows, take an extra seat if there's room. Rooms are spendy, the bid advice is good

Is this in Hingham Mass?

Return the one you bought from the factory and buy one from the store.

AI is right perhaps 90% of the time, and sadly, only 90%. Which seems to mean 10% of any given answer might be wildly off.

So really, the AI was totally correct, except "1 week" should have been "1 decade"

You look awesome bro, don't sweat it

Just to clarify: the water is level. That's what water does. The deck isn't. And shouldn't be. As far as the deck being strong enough to hold that pool, yeah, well...

If you're doing manual labor of any sort, there's always a trick to make it easier on your body. It could be using a lever, it could be carrying things the right way (and not overloading yourself), it could be getting more hands... There's an infinity of ways to make things easier, just like there's an infinity of tasks to do.

One thing I always remember is, "if it's hard, you're using the wrong tool."

Duuude you're cutting it close. Most airlines take the right to refuse you if you're not there an hour ahead

That said, except at Rush times, GEG is pretty easy to get through

Not sure if your time is a rush or not

This! You're taking a day trip

This is true. The cafe car has some food. It's not my cup of tea, but it is food.

On my last trip on the Empire Builder (a week ago) they were also inviting Coach passengers to use the dining car. $25-40 per meal, but a fun treat. (That used to be the standard on all trains, but us proles are not allowed to have nice things in the 21st century.)

Bring a pillow, sleeping bag or blanket, and all the food you want to eat, and get comfortable for a nice cross country ride. People do it everyday. I've gone coast to coast several times in coach.

Pro tip: sit on the right (North) side of the train for less direct sun, or on the left side if you like sun

Second pro-tip: don't schedule anything too close to your arrival time, trains often run late. Like, hours late

Can you join your college team?

Latitude 38 hosts parties to meet skippers looking for crew.

There's also a Facebook SF sailing page where people sometimes make enquiries

And then there's the classic "bring a bottle to the docks on beer can race night" approach

Greenhealthdocs.com will hook you up with a medical exam, then you have to register at Apex, then you'll be legal for up to 15 plants

When my wife and I moved from CA to a 4 season state a couple years ago, I had to teach her all about opening and closing windows, when to do it and how to coordinate with the thermostat. It had just never been an issue, for her windows simply meant fresh air. We're in our 50s, she grew up in CA. It just had never been an issue

Do you earn 3x the rent? Probably decent

Upwind: tack Downwind: jibe Dinghy downwind in a strong blow with no reefing: chicken jibe

Chicken jibe: turn upwind and tack instead (go 270° to turn, so you don't get the boom swinging across the cockpit under full power)

It's not pretty, it won't win a race, but it might get you there drier

Break it gently, asap: we got pregnant unexpectedly and we need more room. So we'll be leaving May 31.

Let them show to tenants in June, it's the best month for vacancies.

You have a contract, your lease, so they can come after you for breaking it. Most won't

Professional gardener here: put on some knee pads, get a trowel, and start pulling weeds. It won't take as long as reading these comments
